    Happy news about the house, some study about COVID came out and I guess the desert isn't conducive to transmission like a week ago now houses are shooting through the roof. The husband is like, trying to figure out how to get a decent mortgage in our situation and says it CAN be done. We would need a cosigner for the mortgage. My mom is not gonna do it. She's not being mean she just FULLY understands what cosigning a loan means, and my guess is she has now wish to OWN like, a house in WV if we both die in a fiery auto wreck. Etc. The husband is gonna ask his mom. I sure am praying she says yes, additional prayers requested and happily received.

    I don't know if she'll do it she has never helped the husband with anything in his life but meh. Maybe. Here's hoping. I would love it if the house sold fast enough that we could buy one an move together and like, even maybe just load a moving truck ourselves. Yes, it would be horrid but it would also be cheaper. If we can get a reasonable mortgage plus what the husband quoted for the house, well I'm going to go look at houses on Zillow soon for even MORE porn. Then, YOGA. I really want to be al tough about iti and not take ANYTHING BUT holy goodness, sleeping on the couch is not conducive to waking up happy. Oh well.

    Hoping the timing works out perfectly.

    I recoiled two tanks, and rewicked four. It was like inspiration hit.

    Man the Precisios are like the doggy styles .They don't turn a bad wick "bad in taste" but they jut keep on trucking. I was like, holy goodness had I know I would have rewicked those a couple weeks ago. LOL.

    All is lovely, clean tasty and delghful. Nothing quite like fresh wicks and coils.

    Mine has been leaking after refill. I did a new build today and used more wick but still seeping out the air hole. I’m really thinking that I’m not getting the tank sealed good because the air flow ring won’t sit all the way down until I put the tank on. What am I doing wrong?

    Somewhere between here and there
    After just under 3 months of seperation from my wife due to construction, coronavirus, most recently the rioting (she had to travel through Minneapolis), and other factors.. accompanied with crippling isolation, loneliness, and depression.. I am finally reunited with my wife and fur baby!!! :banana::banana::banana:
    3 months doesn't seem like all that long, but for me it was an eternity.. especially since we are two inseparable peas in a pod.. and potentially we could have been apart until November. When the U.S. is seemingly collapsing with plague, riots, unemployment, civil unrest, et cetera.. the loneliness and depression is exacerbated and I felt hopeless. It's so much easier to tackle issues/problems, or just day to day stuff, with a partner. Even though I felt so incredibly lonely and isolated, I did the opposite of what I probably should have done.. reaching out. Instead, I crawled inside and delved deep in my shell and isolated more. It's a vicious vortex that's hard to escape.

    And no, I did not end up getting a cat. That would have been a big surprise to my wife.. and my dog!:lol::lol::lol:

    Congratulations! I’m happy for you. I am waiting for someone to post a YouTube video of the song Reunited.

    I vape dtl at medium to high wattage. I found that for me if I cut the recipes by 20%, it tastes better. Anyone have any opinions?

    I don’t usually go much over 25 watts unless I’m reviewing a tank that requires it. I have found with the Zeus sub ohm tank running at 45 watts that it’s bringing out flavors of a mix that I had thought had faded. Nope! They were just hiding at lower wattage.

    IDK? I would try replacing the O ring if it won't seat on its own. I gotta say those O-rings are not exceedingly awesome for the tank. I mean, they.. Well I've had to replace a couple on mine. You may not be getting a good seal and it's the easiest thing to try first. Is it the SS or the black ultem? I actually find the black ones much harder to use strangely enough. IDK why. But, are you using rayon or cotton? With rayon I really pack the wicking down to and almost THROUGH (I mean not through obviously but yea, I pack mine pretty tight.

    Could be why some folks mix differently for MTL and DL ??

    Oh I know me riding mowers. One of the only sweet memories I have of the kid and his dad was, my husband (who got along well with my mom) would mow her farm for her quite a bit (she also had some grassy land.) The kid ADORED the mower, so the husband would stick a giant umbrella on top and they'd be out there mowing for hours,

    My mom loved the ex too much I think. Even AFTER I divorced him she would say stuff like, "I consider him one of my kids."

    It got old. Finally, I said one day rather sharply, "Mom, your KID is selling drugs, snorting coke, drinking too much and would do things like throw chairs at me in blackouts is that REALLY the kid you want to own? Because it's FINE with me, but you could SHUT UP about your feelings to your ACTUAL daughter the one who was expert at concealing bruises and finally LEAVING to happiness, you know. I am your ACTUAL kid and these are just a FEW of the things he did. I consider him a criminal so don't expect me not to CALL the cops if you invite him to any family reunions."

    Yeah I never got that about my mom. I was like, a) I AM YOUR ACTUAL KID 2) YOUR ADOPTED kid is HORROR SHOW why you be considering him family?

    Oh well she did always like the lame duck. By the time I finally got a parental severance at the kid's request, she had changed her tune.

    stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
    The coconut never really came through in my cake batter and coconut mix.
    Thinking of trying another flavor with the cake batter...
    Your coconut may have decided to convert to butter flavor in a bakery mix.. i use a tad of it just for the butter hint in my adv sugar cookie.

    Read here years ago,, some people taste coconut other people taste butter. Maybe try another brand.- that said,, other people who have had my recipe have mentioned they taste the coconut which is only 1% or less when I add it.

    Um I have already lived in a haunted house. The crack house. Weird stuff kept happening like, we found all these strange pics of like a woman in lingere in the basement when we tore the roof down and etc. The ill repute owner like FLED or something. There had been a wedding, and there were signs a KID had lived there (and oh my holy Jesus was MY thought after starting clearing the house out.)

    The very first thing I said to my kid on entry "IF you find or see ANYTHING you don't know what it is, COME and find me, I will deal with it. I mean, we found works and stuff. The husband gutted the kitchen TO the floor joists that is how bad it was. Let's just ah, say we replaced EVERYTHING. I spent a lot of time SCRAPING roach eggs off things using on of those paint scraper things. I had the exterminators come every month for a YEAR. I was not PLAYING.

    But yeah weird things would happen and IMHO what occurred was, the dude somehow murdered the wife, and she was trying to get back in. Like, our home security alarm went off so much, in the middle of the night, for no REASON or the doorbell would ring, nothing. We did all that stuff you do about a haunted house to cleanse it, not really working.

    The husband finally unplugged the system where it ORIGINATED and like there was NO WAY for it to go off....No power.... IT did anyway!!!

    I wasn't so much spooked as sad for whom I was pretty sure the ghost was. So, I wrote the ghost a note and taped it to the front door.

    It went: Dearest Friend,
    Listen, I totally understand this was your home, and you are looking for certainly your child and perhaps your spouse, IDK. However, they no longer live here and you cannot come in. I understand you are lonely and scared. If I could find your child for you, I would. I am a mom too, I get it sucks for you. You will see your child again. However, instead of coming here, I would like you to do something. I know you are seeing lots of strangers. I want you to find someone of the while light persuasion, stay away from any dark people. I want you to start talking to those people, until one of them can hear you, and there will be one that can. Please, ask that person what to do and where to go next. It's going to be okay, just follow their directions. All my love to you and I am sorry for your suffering. It does not need to continue, you can choose for it to end .FIND the right person to talk to, and all will be well, I promise.

    I also swear, I will keep you in my heart and I will remember you lived here and send prayers to your little one, you will meet when the time is right.

    Anna

    It fixed the problem but as far as I'm concerned, if you have a ghost you gotta find a way to talk to it and convince it it's time to go home. I mean..... Most ghosts are just hanging out because they are CONFUSED and I am quite sure death is confusing. LOL my Spiritual therapist mum was impressed with my ghost busting skills. She was like, "How did you know all that ,and to do that?" I was like, "Meh, IDK I just knew is all. Sometimes you just know." She was like, "Yep."

    So either the ghost went home home, or she was like, "Bi:censored: please, I don't go there no more the chick living there is way too new age and crap. She wants to communicate with me about being happy I am looking for some ......., bet she has none I gonna go looking somewhere else."

    But either way, house no longer haunted!:D

    I got the yard done. I’ve either gotten more out of shape than last weekend, or it’s hot and humid out there, or both. Kept having to take breaks as I push mow all of it with hills. So now I’ve got to figure out what we are going to eat later. But first I’m making my key lime pie juice. I’m craving it. I bought some kind of lime from ejuicesteals. Don’t remember the brand. I hope it’s good.
